[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9262641, member: 11760"] We are in very different games, I guess. I have never encountered a player with an expectation that magic items would work a given way -- in fact, I rarely give out stock magic items at all. So me using Tales of the Valiant's Players Guide (which includes ToV's magic items, most of which are from the CC SRD) wouldn't even register with my players, and certainly wouldn't be something they'd "demand," as per the original argument. And the original argument (not by you) was that players would also insist on the DM using the WotC 2024 Monster Manual, which I cannot possibly imagine a scenario where the players would notice or care whether the monsters had slightly different numbers or a few variant abilities. I agree that there will be many players who will want their groups to use the 2024 PHB. I remain skeptical that most of them would know or care which books the DM uses, as long as it's compatible, which all the 5E books should more or less be. [/QUOTE]
